"We're still developing our curriculum in terms of all the work that we are going to be doing and certainly working in consultation with the Aboriginal community in the future in terms of how this building will be used," she said.

Ms Dawning says the centre is a focal point of the school and there are other aspects of Indigenous culture featured throughout the complex.

"We are very lucky to have artworks that have been commissioned by a range of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists from around the country," she said.

'Part of our Indigenous story'

Members of the Indigenous community helped shape the centre's design and curriculum.

Ngunnawal community representative Adrian Brown says the building has a round design for a special reason.
